Non-Indicative Name: Defied. The episode "Julius Caesar's Rise to Power" was initially entitled "Young Julius Caesar." When it turns out that the episode covers Caesar's life until well into his fifties, comedian Ahir goes on a rant about it. Greg changes the episode title.

The Scrappy: The episode on P.T. Barnum is mostly all three presenters, but especially comedian Desiree Burch, repeatedly voicing their disgust with the man and his actions. The Nuance Window even doubles down on it!

Fun with Homophones: In the episode on the history of ice cream, comedian Richard Osman mishears (or pretends to mishear) the term "the queen of ices" as "the queen of ISIS"

comment
Actor-Shared Background: Frequently, a guest or both guests have something in common with the subject; for example, the episode on the Asante empire in modern-day Ghana features historian Gus Casely-Hayford and comedian Sophie Duker, who are both of Ghanaian descent.

comment
First-Name Basis: The presenters address each other by their first names. Greg likes to stick the historian's title before their first name, resulting in such amusing forms of address as "Dr. Gus" or "Prof. Gretchen"

 You're Dead To Me (Podcast) / int_53830d
comment
The Internet Is for Porn: In the episode on the Medieval Papacy, comedian Alison Spittle asked for clarification when Greg refers to the pornocracy (due to a combination of Greg's accent and the utter outrageousness of the term); Greg confirms that it's not "pawn" as in the chess piece, but "porn", as in, "the stuff you find on the internet"

Christmas Episode: So far, the podcast has explored Christmas in the Victorian Era, the Medieval Era, and very specifically, Christmas with Charles Dickens.

Don't Try This at Home
 You're Dead To Me (Podcast) / int_71e514b5
comment
Don't Try This at Home: Whenever the talk is about dangerous, weird, or just plain stupid things people from history got up to, Greg will throw in an 'obligatory BBC disclaimer.' The episode on Vital Electricity alone has three! When the presenters discuss Alexander von Humboldt shoving electric nodes up his bum to see what would happen, Greg exclaims, "please, for the love of God, don't try this at home!"

The Watson: The comedian's role. They are there to ask questions, for the historian to explain things to, and also to occasionally lighten the mood cracking jokes.

Values Dissonance
 You're Dead To Me (Podcast) / int_9c6ba43a
comment
Values Dissonance: Inevitably, since this is a podcast about history. In discussing the subjects, the presenters are confronted with racism, enslavement, children getting married or outrageous age gaps between spouses, incest, sexism, homophobia, etc.

The Ace: Desiree Burch is the all-time champion of the quizzes, with a success rate of 100%! According to Greg, the production team refer to a 10/10 score on the quiz as "Burching it" The Chevalier de Saint-Georges was a sword-fighting, womanising, revolutionising violin virtuoso.

Berserk Button: Greg absolutely loathes conspiracy theories about history, especially ancient aliens. Downplayed, but Greg, and guests who are also medievalists, aren't very fond of the term "The Dark Ages"
